Weekend in Galveston


We went to Galveston last weekend for a little getaway and had so much fun!  We stayed in a beach house with my parents, Aunt Linette, and Mamaw.

I picked Stephen up from school Friday afternoon and we headed down.  He hadn't napped at school all week and was exhausted so he took a little power nap in the car.

Once we got to the house we hung out on the porch for a while and then headed down to the beach.   It was such a perfect night and we enjoyed walking the beach.

Saturday morning I realized I forgot my memory card for my big camera, so I couldn't take any pictures.  I was super bummed!  So all of my pictures from this weekend are from my phone.

We had a relaxing morning and then headed to the strand to do some shopping.  We came home for lunch and Stephen took a great nap.  We had to wake him up at 3:30.

This is the face Stephen does now when I tell him to say "cheese".

Stephen got brave and started walking into the water.  My mom was just to his left, I was right behind him, and Aunt Linette was on his right.   You can't see any of us in these pictures, but we were right there!

All the little holes you see in the bottom of this picture are from little crabs.

Sunday morning Uncle Aaron and Aunt Jessica came over.  We hung out a while at the house before heading to the beach.

We went back to the house for lunch and cake/ brownies to celebrate Aaron and Jessica's birthdays.  Aaron's was on Sept. 3rd and Jessica's was Sept. 19th.

The Cowboys and the Texans played at noon so the guys tuned in to the games.  The Cowboys game wasn't being shown on tv, so they watched it on the ipad.

We spent some more time at the beach and then went back to the house to clean up, pack, and then went to dinner at Fisherman's Wharf.

Stephen held Mamaw's hand as we walked back to the car after dinner.   It was so great having her with us this weekend!

We had such a great weekend and I didn't want it to end!  It was great to spend all weekend with my family and soak up some sun as summer comes to an end.
